But how do we transition from a carbon economy?

Transition through Gas
09/03/10 43
Carbon Levy - initially on gas - funds Energy Pool investment in renewable Mega Watts

…and Green Deal investment in Nega Watts

An Energy Dividend is paid in Stock
09/03/10 46
The outcome is that those with above average carbon fuel use ...
….make a net transfer to those with below average use of carbon fuel
“If you want to keep a cow healthy, you don’t regulate what comes out of it……”
“……you regulate what goes in….”
Energy Pools enable Carbon currency based upon the intrinsic value of energy…
..rather than a market in value-less Units of CO2 emissions, imposed by governments
No dollars change hands but transactions are priced against the dollar
The $ may come to be fixed against a unit of energy – an Energy Standard
